Refer to the balance sheet above. If in 2006 Luther has 10.2 million shares outstanding and these shares are trading at $16 per share, then what is Luther's enterprise value?
A. -$540.0 million.
B. $771.4 million.
C. $385.7 million.
D. $521.4 million.

C. $385.7m

Explanation:

Enterprise value = Market value of equity + Market value of all types of debt - Cash in the balance sheet

Market value of equity = Current share price × number of shares outstanding

= $16 × 10.2 million shares

= $163,200,000

Market value of all types of shares = Market value of long term debt + Market value of current portion of long term debt + notes payable / short term debt

We assume that market value of debts = Book value of debts

Therefore,

Market value of debt = $227m + $40.7m + $10.9m

= $278.6 m

Cash in the balance sheet = $56.10 m

Therefore;

Enterprise value = $163.20m + $278.60 - $56.1

=$385.7 m
